“The batting lineup is the problem.”
Doosan Bears and Lotte Giants played only two games over six days from the 29th to the 3rd of last month.
The games on the 29th and 30th were canceled due to rain, and the games were played on the 31st, but the games on September 1st and 2nd were once again not started due to rain.
As the game on the 2nd was canceled, a game was scheduled for Monday the 4th, and a double header was scheduled for both Doosan and Lotte on the 9th, forcing a forced march of 9 games over 8 days.
Due to the rain, outdoor training was not carried out properly, and the batting lineups of both Doosan and Lotte were cold. In the game on the 3rd, the two teams only exchanged 11 hits. Doosan had 6 hits and Lotte had 5 hits.
The pitching staff did their job perfectly. For Doosan, Brandon Waddell pitched 6 scoreless innings, and Park Chi-guk, Kim Myung-shin, and Jeong Cheol-won pitched 1 perfect inning each.
For Lotte, Barnes allowed 1 run (unearned) in 7 innings. Other than the point given due to a defensive error, clean pitching continued. Then, Koo Seung-min finished the game with 1 run in 1 inning, and Choi Jun-yong finished the game with 1 inning of no runs.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said ahead of the game on the 4th, “Brandon played his role well, and (Park) Chi-guk, (Kim) Myeong-shin, and (Jeong) Cheol-won played a neat game.”
Coach Lee continued by saying, “The batting lineup is the problem,” and pointed out, “It’s been a while since we played a game, and we practice indoors, so it may be different for each person, but I think it might have some impact.”
Lotte acting manager Lee Jong-woon also said, “The pitchers did a good job. It was a good pitch that allowed about 2 runs. In the end, we lost because we couldn’t hit. It’s unfortunate. We had a chance, but we couldn’t save it.”안전놀이터
